My thoughts and paint brushes keep returning to Yukon scenes. This is a memory I've long wanted to paint out...a Sunday skate at Windy Arm. It was a windy day, indeed! So very unique and worth remembering.
This is a sneak peek of my work to be featured in an upcoming show at Gallery 22 in Whitehorse, YT. The show is titled "Four Women" (a la carte) and, along with my paintings of people places, and things, showcases the work of fellow artists; Gabriele Watts, Kathy Piwowar, and Edwige Graham.We are an eclectic, electric group of women! Do come to our show.
Opening night is October 25th, 5-8pm and the show runs for four weeks.
Since following the Different Strokes from Different Folks blogspot and the work of Karin Jurick I have been inspired & challenged to try painting people more often. It has been a subject that has intimidated me. This summer, I purposefully set out to capture scenes from everyday life with my camera, thinking of painting potentials. This was from an excursion to Kingston, Ontario.
This is my first in a series of outdoor scenes capturing some of my fellow artists at work. I haven't done a lot of painting with people in them and decided it was high time to tackle the subject. Working on the paintings of the sculptures has definitely helped my confidence.
